• Water Measurement Workshop - July 21, 2011
  The State Water Resources Control Board held a workshop to consider information regarding water diversion measurement under Water Code section 5103 (e), (1) which requires diverters of water who file Statements of Water Diversion and Use (Statements) to measure their monthly water diversions beginning in January 2012 and (2) Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations sections 920, 925 and 929, which requires Statement holders, water right permittees and water right licensees, respectively, to report their maximum rate of diversion achieved during each month. The informal workshop included presentations on water diversion measurement, including practices, requirements, and trends. The workshop also gave an opportunity for participants and stakeholders to provide comments.
